I just recently decided to put my Hawk back together as is instead of doing any real mods to it. I have a Keyster carb kit I purchased years ago that has 140 and 135 jets and those are the only numbers present. I've seen a ton of info here about tuning carbs on modified Hawks, but haven't seen anything for someone who is going to just clean them up and run them as is. I have the factory airbox and exhaust. I may have to upgrade the intake if those filters are wrecked, but don't plan on messing with the exhaust right now.
Could I upgrade the air cleaner(s) without also upgrading the exhaust?
Should I stretch the springs?
Should I shim the needles?
Of the four jets I have (140, 135 and presumably the stock 138 and 132) which would work best on a bone stock Hawk?
I'm certain this has been covered, but it seems to be evading me quite well right now.
Thank you,
Gator
